@table @emph
+@vindex cron
@item cron
@include cronexpr.texi
+@vindex nice
@item nice
Optional. Use that @ref{Niceness, niceness} during the call (255 is used
otherwise).
+@vindex xx
+@vindex rx
+@vindex tx
@item xx
Optional. Either @verb{|rx|} or @verb{|tx|}. Tells only to either to
receive or to transmit data during that call.
+@vindex addr
@item addr
Optional. Call only that address, instead of trying all from
@ref{CfgAddrs, @emph{addrs}} configuration option. It can be either key
Optional. Override @ref{CfgMaxOnlineTime, @emph{maxonlinetime}}
configuration option when calling.
+@vindex autotoss
@item autotoss, -doseen, -nofile, -nofreq, -noexec, -notrns
Optionally enable auto tossing: run tosser on node's spool every second
-during the call. You can control either are @file{.seen} files must be
+during the call. You can control either are @file{seen/} files must be
created, or skip any kind of packet processing.
+@vindex when-tx-exists
@item when-tx-exists
-Call only if packets for sending exists.
+Call only if packets for sending exists. The check of outbound packets
+existence is performed @strong{every} time we are going to make a call,
+but @emph{when-tx-exists} does not influence @emph{cron}. When
+@emph{cron} configuration decides that it is time to make a call, with
+@emph{when-tx-exists} option it checks packets existence first.
+
+@vindex nock
+@anchor{CfgNoCK}
+@item nock
+NoCK (no-checksumming) tells not to do checksumming of received files,
+assuming that it will be done for example with
+@command{@ref{nncp-check}} command later. That can help minimizing time
+spent online, because HDD won't do simultaneous reading of the data for
+checksumming and writing of the received one, but just sequential
+writing of the file. Pay attention that you have to make a call to
+remote node after checksumming is done, to send notification about
+successful packet reception.
+
+@vindex mcd-ignore
+@anchor{CfgMCDIgnore}
+@item mcd-ignore
+Ignore @ref{MCD} announcements: do not add MCD addresses for possible
+connection attempts.
